Romolo's Cannoli - San Mateo, California

Prash Chandramohan

We stumbled upon this amazing gem that boasts an incredibly unique selection of ice cream flavors paired perfectly with mouthwatering cannoli! Imagine biting into one of their three irresistible options: the classic plain, the decadently rich chocolate-filled, or the delightfully crunchy pistachio-topped! It’s the ultimate spot for a quick and exhilarating treat after lunch, where you can savor a refreshing scoop of ice cream that will leave your taste buds dancing!

10/10 REAL CANNOLIS THAT SATISFIED MY CRAVINGS!
I’ve been craving for real cannolis for some time but there aren’t any available in my area. I drove an hour just to get these and they were so worth it! I got a dozen cannolis, half filled with original and half with tiramisu.

Craving an Italian dessert, we were led to this place. Cute small shop, friendly people. Ice cream and desserts in the fridge section, cannolis on the counter. You get choices for each cannoli. Plain or chocolate inside cone. Original, pistachio or chocolate filling. Sides of chocolate chip, pistachio, cherries. It is crispy and flavorful. It would have been great with an espresso or tea but so yummy.

A nice little authentic Italian dessert shop with a long history of family ownership. This is my first time here, and I met another very kind customer that give us so many great suggestions.
I ended up having a regular shell + pistachio filling + pistachio & toffee garnish. To be honest, I didn't find it to be my cup of tea. However, I still decided to give this place a 4 star because what I saw in the shop is filled with love and 2 generations of hard work.

A very popular place, we met a regular customer who brought a dozen, and he recommended the original.

I got the chocolate covered shell with half original and half pistachio filling, and dipped with toffee and pistachio.
The shell is krispy, the fillings taste similar to me, and a little heavy, the pistachio topping is fresh. (2 for $10)

I can see why people like it, but just not y cup of tea.

I've been a patron of Romolo’s for quite some time now. Their cannolis are some of the best in the entire Bay Area, even surpassing some I've tried in Italy. The key aspect is that they prepare your order in front of you, which sets their establishment apart as one of the best. Unlike most places that have their cannolis pre-filled and waiting for customers, at Romolo’s, the shell never gets soggy. On your first bite, you experience a satisfying crunch, which is crucial. The ricotta filling, if you opt for the classic, is light, airy, and creamy, just as it should be.

Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Romolo's! Their cannoli are an absolute delight. From the crisp shell to the rich, creamy filling, each bite was a burst of heavenly flavors. Without a doubt, the best cannoli I've ever had. Will definitely be returning for more!

I love this place!! Not a huge selection, but I do get family owned vibes. Staff is friendly and kind. Canolies are made to order, and any combination is delicious. Leave room for ice cream, now with their ghoulish names. ?
